Good News! I met my husband and through my deep love I got a great benefit - Insurance!
He is in the military and although the insurance is not steller...it works.
My endo is under control. I for some reason cannot handle birth control, but its ok. I noticed some comments that I have not seen because I had not been on in a while. My apologies. Thank you everyone for your support.
On a less than great note, they think I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Not fun, but my new hubby is very savvy and has been helping me find great books and go to a specialist next month. My attitude remains positive and I thank everyone for their support.

Hello
ReplyDeleteI understand you are busy so I shall keep this brief. My wife has been suffering from endo for 15 years now. By reading your blog, It was like telling my wife's journey with this horrible disease as well. We just got back from Dr. Mathias office in houston about 1 week ago, and he put her on the endo diet u mentioned, also, he put her on clonezepam (seizure medication) which I'm terrified she will get dependent on, peri-actin drops which she takes only at night but only 1/2 the dosage because it gets her very drowsy and sleepy, non-metal reactive pharmaceutical grade fish oil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and her daily dosage of minerals by new vision for the reduction of her bowel spasms. Are these the medications/minerals your taking? How
Have you been fairing with them if so? How are your pain levels? Dr. Mathias wants my wife on this endo diet for 8weeks under all these medications, but I'm already seeing her spirit deteriorate and it makes me hurt to see her going through this. After the 8 week treatment, dr. Mathias will send her back to Dr. Mangal for his invasive laparoscopic procedure, much different than the lap procedures here in San Antonio Texas where we reside. Apparently, Dr. Mangals procedure will keep my wife pain free for up to 3-5 years before it grows back. I'm still hesitant because I've seen it grow back so quickly. I really do hope to hear from you as it is always comforting to know the support for women with endo is out there. Although there is no cure, you, among my wife and others continue to fight and I admire your strength. We have talked about children but financially, we are not ready, then again, where are we ever financially ready in this economy?
Sincerely,
Yesenia and Alex Macias
Hope to hear from u soon.
